‘The ABC’s of Cancer’ – Local Kids Give A Voice To Thoughts Of Former St. Jude Kids Who No Longer Have One

When we were preparing for our St. Jude Radiothon, we know one of the most powerful things we shared during the broadcast is the 'ABC's of Cancer', but it's even more powerful, when local kids lend their voice to share them with you.

Trying to describe the ABCs of Cancer is like trying to explain St. Jude to a person who has never stepped inside the hospital. Once you see it, once you visit, your heart can never be the same.
